I must say that i love your work, and have started using clay again myself. but i do have a few questions about the things you use. like what are you using for the eyeballs, and where can you find that type of hair?????? LOVE IT

Thank-you, Merry for writing and for your kind compliment on my work!
To answer you question about the eyes, on the smaller figures the eyes are sculpting directly into the clay, then painted throught the creative process. On larger figures, white glass beads are used for the eyes.
For the hair, I use yearling Angora Mohair which has been sheared from goats, and works quite lovely! It’s sometimes a seasonal find, but a little bit goes a long way. Sellers on eBay can be found, which is where I’ll sometimes purchase.
I hope this helps!
